A different kind of tool.
Meridin started from a simple, uncomfortable observation: an entire industry profits from keeping people ashamed and subscribed.
We wanted to build the opposite of the shame-and-subscription machine. No shame, no dogma, no lifelong lock-in — just honest tools grounded in how habits actually change, and a real interest in you not needing us for long. You're not your worst compulsion. You're the person who decided to do something about it.
“You're not your worst compulsion. You're the person who decided to do something about it.”
How it actually works.
Meridin isn't a blocker you fight or a streak you're afraid to break. It explains what's happening in your brain, gives you something to do the moment an urge hits, and helps you build habits that make the old loop lose its grip. Three things, done well — nothing you have to escape.
Built to keep your private things private.
A recovery app is only useful if you can be honest in it. That only works if you trust where your words go. So we built Meridin to hold as little of you as possible.
Your reflections, your history, the private details of what you're working through — these are designed to live on your device, not on our servers. We don't want a database that could ever say what any single person struggles with. The safest data is the data we never hold.
We don't sell or share your information, there are no ads, and our business doesn't depend on your attention. And because Meridin is built to help you move on, we'd rather you eventually not need us at all.

The Pillars
Shame keeps people stuck. We explain the mechanism instead of judging the person.
We'd rather you graduate than stay subscribed. That's the whole design.
What you tell Meridin stays yours. Discretion is a feature, not a setting.
Tools based on how habits actually change — no dogma, no willpower myths.
